Instructions for Happiness
August 6, 2007
There are, at minimum, 20 techniques to make the pursuit of happiness a little easier.
At least that’s the idea behind Time’s Special Report on the subject. It seems that the latest science (and apparently, it is a science) is focused on ways to be happier as a whole, rather than on how to fix problems like depression, anxiety, and such. In other words, what factors enable us to thrive, flourish, and insist that the glass is half-full.
Each of the 20 ways to be happier is explored on their site. The techniques they mentioned were based on the International Conference on Happiness and Its Causes.
A lot of them are no-brainers, such as: “Move your body,” (tip #5) “Smile,” (tip #19) “Laugh big,” (tip #6) “Do something nice for someone else,” (tip #7) and “Snog. Canoodle. Get it on” (tip # 3). Oh, and money doesn’t hurt either (tip #8).
But there are also a few concepts which may not be as obvious as those. For instance, “Tell your story to someone” (tip # 14).

8 Technologies to Help Save the World [04] Nuclear Waste Neutralizer
February 17, 2007
Forget Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Homer Simpson. Nuclear energy is making a comeback, and it’s now being touted as a greenhouse-gas-free solution to global warming. But one big problem remains: What to do with untold tons of radioactive waste that will be red-hot for hundreds of thousands of years?
The answer: Recycle it. But not with current nuclear waste reprocessing technology, which leaves behind an unfortunate by-product - weapons-grade plutonium. Instead, scientists at the government’s Argonne National Lab near Chicago are devising a chemical technology called Urex+ that extracts reusable uranium and separates out cesium, allowing four times as much waste to be packed into nuclear burial grounds.
Such technology would at last make a nuke-plant-building boom ecologically feasible, but that’s far from the only benefit. It would also leave the plutonium encased in other elements, rendering it all but useless to terrorists, North Korean dictators, and other evildoers. Read more
